Across
- 1. The push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity
- 4. friction opposes the movement between two contact surfaces that slide against each other.
- 5. the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
- 6. third Law of Motion for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 8. the moving of something from its place or position.
- 14. a vehicle's capacity to gain speed within a short time.
- 15. a force which tries to pull two objects toward each other.
- 16. the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
- 17. Method a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
- 19. the speed in combination with the direction of motion of an object.
- 20. the act or quality of acting or moving fast; rapidity.
Down
- 2. a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
- 3. force When two forces are the same strength but act in opposite direction
- 7. a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
- 9. friction a force that keeps an object at rest
- 10. force the force acting on an object in curvilinear motion directed towards the axis of rotation or center of curvature.
- 11. resistance a kind of friction (a force that opposes motion) which occurs between air and another object.
- 12. a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
- 13. second Law of Motion the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass.
- 18. Theory a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts
